Tools: Solderer
Experience: some novice-level experience with soldering.
Time: 30 minutes
Soldered DC Motor HAT
It is better to be safe than sorry. Soldering is a potentially hazardous activity. There is a fire hazard as well as the risk of inhaling toxic fumes. Stop a second and make sure you are addressing the safety standards for soldering when following these instructions. If you have never soldered before, seek advice.
There is a general rule in soldering: solder the components according to their height, from lowest to highest.
In this instruction set we will assume you have soldered something before and are acquainted with the soldering fundamentals. If not, before proceeding, read this great tutorial on soldering:
Take the GPIO stacking header Figure 3.1 out of Duckiebox and sort the following components from DC motor HAT package:
Adafruit DC/Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi
2-pin terminal block (2x), 3-pin terminal block (1x)
1) Make a 5 pin terminal block by sliding the included 2 pin and 3 pin terminal blocks into each other Figure 3.3.
2) Slide this 5 pin block through the holes just under βM1 GND M2β on the board. Solder it on (we only use two motors and do not need connect anything at the βM3 GND M4β location) (Figure 3.6);
3) Slide a 2 pin terminal block into the corner for power. Solder it on. (Figure 3.5);
4) Slide in the GPIO Stacking Header onto the 2x20 grid of holes on the edge opposite the terminal blocks and with vice versa direction (Figure 3.4). Solder it on.
stick the GPIO Stacking Header from bottom to top, different orientation than terminal blocks (from top to bottom).
